Town Hall [Sunday afternoon]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Given her new position ('deputy' was one of those words that made everything just a tiny bit better), Robin was fine with hanging out in Town Hall today, her gun still firmly holstered as she worked her way through paperwork, familiarizing herself with things and trying to work out the most efficient way to file everything.

It was a way to keep her mind occupied.

The box of cupcakes she'd gotten from her Victoria was on the edge of her desk, and while Robin had tried one, she was now thinking it might not have been the best idea. She'd probably poisoned them.

[flying OCD-free. Mostly if you have need for a Robin. And no, Victoria did NOTHING to the cupcakes. Robin's just paranoid.]

Deadpool wandered on by shortly after Nate and his group teens that kiiinda reminded him of the good old days when there was much more fighting.

"Robin! ...are those cupcakes?"

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"They are. Victoria -- mine, not Benton's -- made them," she said, waving. "Are you my bodyguard?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Don't think of it like that," He replied, going to tack a seat on the desk. And poke at the cupcakes. "Think of it as hanging out with a heavily armed and well trained killing machine that enjoys porn just as much as you do."

A beat.

"And, oh em gee, did you see what that secretary out there was wearing? Last season much?"

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"I know! Her shoes are so knock-off sample sale," she tsked, going with it in spite of herself.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"It's just sad is what it is," Deadpool replied, slowly reaching for a cupcake.

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Careful. I don't know if she did anything to those," Robin said worriedly, eyeing the cupcakes. "She's evil and all."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool paused before shrugging and grabbing one anyway. "I ate Emma Frost's muffins, they can't be worse than that."

There was something dirty about that...

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Didn't she have the...assets?" Robin asked, trying to remember and gesturing to her front.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"That's her!" A beat. "And she's nominally Nate's step-mom."

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"...ewwwww," Robin said, wrinkling her nose. "That's...ewwwwwwwwwww. I think I'd die if my stepmother wore that little."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"It's all very awkward in that family. What with half of them crazy, evil or dead..."

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Aww, now my home life sounds so much more normal," Robin said.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Most places do," He admitted. "I've died... three times now? And Nate-- well we stopped counting."

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"I've died zero times," she told him proudly. "Though one time I broke my leg 'cause of field hockey in high school and told my mom I was going to die because I couldn't go to the prom."

Lifting his mask to eat the cupcake, Deadpool leaned back to rest his weight on one hand. "Awww. Didja eventually go?"

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"When I was twenty-six," she said, nodding. "And then last year, too."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Aww, that's very Lifetime Movie," Deadpool said, biting into the thing. "Hey, this is actually pretty good."

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Until the poison kicks in," Robin said ominously "I dunno. Maybe she isn't smart enough for poison."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"If I have any bad side-effects, I'll let you know," Wade said soothingly.

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"I'll probably already be dead," she replied.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"...did you already eat some?"

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"I had a bite of one earlier," she said, nodding and looking regretful.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Then we know it's not a fast acting poison." He looked at the cupcake carefully. "Did it taste almondy?"

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"It tasted like red velvet cake," she told him.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Hmm." This would take serious study. By eating more. "Now, this is your Victoria, right?"

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"My Victoria," she confirmed. "The other one would just go shoot Benton and then call me to let me know, rather than go to the trouble of poisoning little old me."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"...ooookay." Wade crumpled up the cupcake wrapper, slowly putting it in a pouch rather than ask where the garbage was. "I don't think we hafta worry too much about that."

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"...I'm not that intimidating," she said, shaking her head. "I mean, all I did was give her a black eye and scare her a li -- oh! Oh, oh, did you meet the bitch?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"I offered to escort the lady home," Wade said, being very diplomatic about it.

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Robin beamed. "You scare her?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"I think we came to an understanding."

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"I could kiss you," she said, almost giddy. "I won't, but I could. Want the rest of the cupcakes?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Aww, not even one on the cheek?" Wade asked, preening a little now.

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Robin leaned over to plant a kiss on his cheek, because that was fair.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Now, if he asks, you know nothing of this," Wade told her. "That could only end badly."

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Of course," she said easily. "He knows I went after her, so that's fair game. But I know nothing beyond that."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Wade just nodded for a moment. "So! What exactly am I protecting you from other than cupcakes?"

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"I have no idea. My Victoria's like a foot shorter and thirty pounds lighter than me, so she's not a concern. And clearly the other bitch isn't. So...boredom?" she said, shrugging.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Probably. Or Nate's pulling the lone wolf card and trying to 'protect' us all. He's such a girl about this stuff."

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Careful now, that's my new lady-boss you're talking about there," she said.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Hey's probably got everything here bugged," Wade said, waving dismissively. "It's best to just ignore his girlishness."

A beat.

"Hey, do you know where to get a weave?"

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"You get a good one in a nice salon," she told him, nodding. "I've never had one, though."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"I'll make sure to inform Nate of this..."
